How can i draw a outline around an object in a picture

I am trying to draw around an object in a picture to show the different values and defined edges. Can anyone help?

Use one of the selection tools -- lasso, rectangle marquee or elliptical marquee, for example.

How can I compare the lengths of two objects in a picture?

I imagine there should be some sort of floating ruler hovering over each object and some cutting work to do to overlay one object on top of another while one object being transparent so that the length discrepancy is transparent.

Try using the Measure tool. It's in the same slot as the Eyedropper - keep pressing Shift+I until you see a Ruler icon. You can only have one ruler at a time, but if you open the Measurement Log window (from the Window menu), you can record the current one, draw another ruler, record that, etc.

How do I create an outline around text please

hi all, How do I create an outline around text please
thanks,

You can see here that you can simply apply a stroke to live text by double clicking the stroke icon in the bottom left of the toolbar and selecting a color. I chose red.
If you select the text, then go to Type > Create Outlines, you get more options in the stroke palette, like whether the stroke is aligned to the outside or inside of the text object's boundary. The text below is outlined with the stroke aligned to the outside.

How can I put a parenthesis around the number?

Hi expert people!!!
One question: How can I put a parenthesis around the number because I have this
write:   /123 t_bsid-pago1, 141 t_bsid-pago2,
          157 t_bsid-pago3, 175 t_bsid-pago4,
          193 t_bsid-pago5.
and if I put the parenthesis hardcoded like this:
write:   /123 '(', t_bsid-pago1,')'.
when the variable are printed the parenthesis is write very separated from the amount.
I know that maybe I can use the CONDENSE or CONCATENATE statement but for that I need to create a variable type N, or STRING and if I do that I don't know how can I put the decimals points back.
Thanks!!

Hi Carlos,
Try this:
REPORT ZTESTRAJ.
data: v_val(10) type p decimals 2 value '123456.75',
      v_text type string.
start-of-selection.
write:/ v_val.
v_text = v_val.
concatenate '(' v_text ')' into v_text.
condense v_text no-gaps.
write:/ v_text.
<b>Output:</b>
test program...
123,456.75
<b>(123456.75)</b>

Help!How can i draw an image that do not need to be displayed?

I want to draw an image and save it as an jpeg file.
first I have to draw all the elements in an image object.I write a class inherit from Class Component,I want to use the method CreateImage,but I get null everytime.And i cannot use the method getGraphics of this object.Thus i can not draw the image.
when i use an applet,it runs ok.I use panel and frame,and it fails.
How can i draw an image without using applet,because my programme will be used on the server.
Thank you.

you could try this to create the hidden image
try
          GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
          GraphicsDevice gs = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice();
          GraphicsConfiguration gc = gs.getDefaultConfiguration();
          offImage = gc.createCompatibleImage(100, 100);
          offG = offImage.getGraphics();
      catch(Exception e)
          System.out.println(e.getMessage());
      }

How can i wrap a tag around content?

how can i wrap a tag around content? for example if i have a block of text, in previous versions of dw i could just select a block of text and click the p tag in the file menu and dw would put opening and closing tags. now in creative cloud version it puts the tags after the block of text. is there a setting to adjust this? thanks

if i have 10 list items is this the easiest way to wrap the li tags around them? before you could simple select the text and highlight it and click the li in the toolbar. thanks murray

How can I draw two differenct plots at the same graph?

[I am beginner]
I have two different set of data which have differenct x-axis values. How can I draw two data at the same plot?
For example, one data set is
x y
1 3.5
3 2.3
5 1.3
8 3.2
The other
1 2.3
2.5 5.4
4 2.5
If I use m_graph.plotXvsY two times. But it draw only one graph at the same time.
Please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Do you really need the two sets of data on the same plot or is what you really care about is that the two sets of data are in the same graph? If it's the former, then there's not much that you can do since a plot can only contain one set of data. You can append to an existing set of data by calling the corresponding Chart (for example, ChartXvsY) method, but the result is that the plot's data will appear continuous.
If it's the latter, the way to do this is to add multiple plots to the graph and plot each set of data in a separate plot. For example, go to the Plots tab in the graph's property pages, add another plot, then here's some sample code that demonstrates how to plot the sets of data from your example above:
double xData1[] = { 1, 3, 5, 8 };
double yData1[] = { 3.5, 2.3, 1.3, 3.2 };
CNiReal64Vector xDataSet1(4, xData1), yDataSet1(4, yData1);
m_graph.Plots.Item(1).PlotXvsY(xDataSet1, yDataSet1);
double xData2[] = { 1, 2.5, 4 };
double yData2[] = { 2.3, 5.4, 2.5 };
CNiReal64Vector xDataSet2(3, xData2), yDataSet2(3, yData2);
m_graph.Plots.Item(2).PlotXvsY(xDataSet2, yDataSet2);
Hope this helps.

How can I draw a line in Preview without the arrow head

Hello all!
How can I draw a line in Preview without the arrow head at the end of the line?

Yes. Once you select the line bar a new entry will appear where you can select what type of line. Based on my experience whether or not it will change is iffy.

How can I use a progress bar in objective c mac

How can I use a progress bar in objective c mac? I have a code that downloads a file and I want to be able to let the progress bar increase by 1. A bit further on the code (to download the file) it needs to increase again. And so on...
My code
-(IBAction) downloadButtonPressed:(id)sender;{
    //get the path to the image that we're going to download
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.dropbox.com/s/l6o07m48npxknt4/Cluedo.zip?dl=1"];
    //get the path to documents folder where we're going to save our image
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *DocumentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *filePath = [DocumentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Cluedo.zip"];
    //Download the file to memory
    NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
    NSError *error = nil;
    //Save it on the Documents directory
    [data writeToFile:filePath options:NSDataWritingAtomic error:&error];
    NSFileManager* fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
    NSString* zipPath = filePath;
    NSString* targetFolder = @"/Applications"; //this it the parent folder
    //where your zip's content
    //goes to (must exist)
    //create a new empty folder (unzipping will fail if any
    //of the payload files already exist at the target location)
    [fm createDirectoryAtPath:targetFolder withIntermediateDirectories:NO
                   attributes:nil error:NULL];
    //now create a unzip-task
    NSArray *arguments = [NSArray arrayWithObject:zipPath];
    NSTask *unzipTask = [[NSTask alloc] init];
    [unzipTask setLaunchPath:@"/usr/bin/unzip"];
    [unzipTask setCurrentDirectoryPath:targetFolder];
    [unzipTask setArguments:arguments];
    [unzipTask launch];
    //[unzipTask waitUntilExit]; //remove this to start the task concurrently

Your code really isn't suitable for a progress bar, not a real one anyway. Your code will spend about 99.9% of its time in the method "dataWithContentsOfURL:url". That is not a method you want to use in the real world. It is only for demos or proof of concept exercises. All network operations should be asynchronous. That gives you the ability to gracefully recover when there is a failure and also to do fancy things like display a progress bar and tell the user when the download is complete.
Once you get the asynchronous download logic working, then you can worry about the progress bar. The first thing you will need is the size of the file. Without that, all you can ever do is an indeterminate progress bar or spinner. If you have the size of the file, then you can keep track of how much of the file you have downloaded and update your progress bar with the percentage complete. Make sure to throttle it to no more than incrementing by 1% at a time. Otherwise, a large file or a file transferred in many small chunks, would waste too much time updating the progress bar for no change.

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
**One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

How can I disappear the lines of the grid from the picture?

Please help!
This photo was made through a grid.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/apexivision/4468964280/sizes/o/in/photostream/
My question is: how can I disappear the lines of the grid from the picture with Photoshop CS2? Thanks!!!

Select the offending parts with a fuzzy-edged selection and adjust the curves to get some relief.
Then Burn and Dodge can be your friends as well.
Some things that can help: Make a duplicate layer so you have the original to compare against (and to go back to as needed. Work in 16 bits / channel and (ideally) at an upsampled resolution. Add a Curves adjustment layer above with the curves pulled up so you can lighten up the shadows as needed and see that you're getting things right even in the dark shadows.
You may need to do some selective noise reduction in the places you've enhanced, as the lightening and darkening will bring up the noise.

Restoring to factory setting will certainly erase the pics.
